I assume you have found that setting http_proxy in a shell before starting 'appbrowser' will allow that application to connect to the repository.

If you want to ensure that the export http_proxy='proxy.domain: port' setting gets applied to all shells I'd suggest to create a file in '/etc/profile.d' (e.g. '/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh') that contains this setting. Please note:

• The file name needs to have the '.sh' extension and will need to be created by 'root', e.g. via  
      sudo sh -c "echo export http_proxy='proxy.domain: port' > /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh"
• Make sure that this file is included in your backup, e.g. via
     echo 'etc/profile.d' >> /opt/.filetool.lst
  and that you have done a backup before you reboot again.

Alternatively you could add this setting just to the '~/.profile' file of your current user (which should be included in the default set of files to be backed-up). This would limit the setting just to the current user and not apply system wide.

Edit: Correction of a meaningless command example.

Should sh -c above be echo? I'd think the current command would create an empty file.

Thanks curaga for reading so carefully and bringing this to my attention. Indeed this whole command did not make sense, since the 'sudo' and the 'echo' somehow "got lost" and the double-quotes were not around the entire command.

[A bit OT] Maybe there is a better way, but this sort of command is what I use to directly write from a "user shell" to a file owned by 'root'. Surely one could simply change the shell to be a "super-user shell", but when quoting commands in posts here I assume that the user is "non-root".

Never mind it should now be correct.
